“…It is believed that the term 'open space' was first coined in 1833 by a committee in a "public trail" in London (Ibrahim, Dali & Yusoff, 2013). The article continued that the committee is also believed to be the agency that is responsible for establishing the term 'open spaces' (as cited in Maruani and Amit-Cohen, 2007, p. 4).…”

Utilizing spaces for awareness could be superficially noble. However, the typology of spaces played an important role in addressing the awareness of translating the messages through tangible forms, which in this context are sculptures. Assuring the efficacy of the typology of the spaces that is compatible with the content is important to ensure its timelessness to the dynamic demographical change of viewers. Therefore, the study proposes an investigation of the efficacy of typology of public urban space; garden that accommodates memorial sculptures. The study intends to analyze the features and flaws of ASEAN Sculpture Garden, as a mediatory role of ASEAN in instilling awareness of unity between ASEAN members to the public. The objective of the study is to analyze the efficacy of the garden to accommodate the rich memorial sculptures. The body of the research is formed by theoretical and case study research. It is projected by three methods; archival research, semi structured interviews and site documentation; direct observations and site visit. The qualitative data then will be analysed using Actor Network theory, keyword coding and site findings. Findings showed that as the main objective of the garden is to exhibit the sculptures, it could be summed up that it has failed to meet the apparent intention based on the site analysis conducted by the researcher. The typology of the space should be able to communicate the project' s aims continuously rather than serving the function temporarily. The variables, which are space and time factors are debatable, as the neighboring tourist spot, National Monument residing the wide square managed to attract public attention due to its great efficacy of typological space regardless the time factor. As a conclusion, the typology of space is a huge factor to ensure the park' s success.

“…In response to the concept, the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning, Peninsular Malaysia (FDTCP) issued Planning Standard Guidelines for Open Spaces and Recreation (JBPD 7/2000). The local authorities (LAs) used the guideline in implementing green open spaces in their town planning and building projects to achieve Malaysia's vision as a "Garden Nation" (Ibrahim et al, 2013). This study aims to strengthen the importance of achieving the vision for the well-being of the Nation, particularly in the pandemic era.…”

Before the pandemic, residents in the Klang Valley tend to prioritize indoor living space to outdoor. This study analyzed the importance of outdoor green space in residential buildings. It consists of two objectives; to identify the type of home pocket gardens used and to evaluate the significant impact of home pocket gardens on the quality of life (QOL) during the pandemic. A survey was conducted using a five-point Likert scale and distributed to three housing communities within the Klang Valley. In conclusion, home pocket gardens provide a positive impact on the QOL during the pandemic. Keywords: Pocket Garden, Quality of Life. eISSN: 2398-4287© 2021. The Authors.

“…Within the Malaysian context, urban riparian is also termed as river reserve that has been reckoned as green space. In its function as surviving greenery in an urban area [6], urban riparian has essential roles in the river health, the surrounding environment, and the well-being among urbanites. The existing developments found along the Malaysian riversides have been in place prior to establishment of river reserves [7], thus leading to expansion constraint.…”

Urban River Reserve Potentials as Passive Cooling Strategies

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In Malaysia, urban riparian refers to river reserve that reflects green space. As surviving greenery space amidst concrete jungle, urban riparian is essential for safe-keeping the river health, the surrounding environment, and the well-being of urbanites. The existing developments found by the Malaysian riversides are already in place prior to river reserves establishment, thus constricting expansion and synchronisation due to its guidelines applied in isolation within several related agencies. Prior studies have highlighted the potential of riparian vegetation as a viable method that lowers the temperature within urban space. Hence, this paper probes into the potential of river reserve as a passive cooling strategy by determining the vegetation technical requirements from the light of urban river physical planning and design guidelines in Malaysia. Thus, this study outlines the possibility of integration by comparing vegetation requirements for river buffer with vegetation function and ability in altering radiation, as well as heat transfer, through physical attributes. By focusing on vegetation physical structure, the riparian area can attain multiple functions and benefits. Thus, this finding serves as a basis for integration of passive cooling strategies with vegetation requirements for urban river reserve, and for further studies that investigate other essential physical attributes.
